Developing an Event Notification Plug-In

Event notification plug-ins are implemented using Java. To develop an event notification plug-in, you can take either of the following actions:

• Implement all of the methods from the com.activcard.aims.event. AIMSEventListener interface. The AIMSEventListener interface provides the methods that allow ActivID CMS to initialize and send events to the event notification plug-in.

or

• If your plug-in needs to react to certain events (but not every type), create a subclass of com.activcard.aims.event.AIMSEventAdapter. The abstract class AIMSEventAdapter facilitates the process of creating plug-ins that react to some types of events, but not to all types of events (for example, plug-ins that only react to request and device events).

For example, if you create a subclass AIMSEventAdapter, you will not have to provide any implementations for the methods that are not relevant to your integration.
